Review Response inhibition in the stop-signal paradigm Frederick Verbruggen1,2 and Gordon D. Logan1 1 Department of Psychology, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN 37203, USA 2 Department of Experimental Psychology, Ghent University, B-9000 Ghent, Belgium Response inhibition is a hallmark of executive control. is triggered by the presentation of the stop signal. When The concept refers to the suppression of actions that are the stop process finishes before the go process, the response no longer required or that are inappropriate, which is inhibited; when the go processes finishes before the stop supports flexible and goal-directed behavior in ever- process, the response is emitted. The latency of the stop changing environments. The stop-signal paradigm is process (stop-signal reaction time [SSRT]) is covert and most suitable for the study of response inhibition in a must be estimated from a stochastic model, such as the laboratory setting. The paradigm has become increas- independent race model [3] (Box 2). SSRT has proven to be ingly popular in cognitive psychology, cognitive neuro- an important measure of the cognitive control processes science and psychopathology. We review recent findings that are involved in stopping. Cognitive neuroscientists in the stop-signal literature with the specific aim of use SSRT as a criterion to determine whether neural demonstrating how each of these different fields con- processes participate directly in response inhibition (Box tributes to a better understanding of the processes 1). Psychopathologists use SSRT to study inhibitory defi- involved in inhibiting a response and monitoring stop- cits in different patient groups (see later)
